Chocolate Cupcake Recipe and A Chocolate Ganache Recipe
A chocolate cupcake recipe can include a no bake cupcake recipe as well as a gluten free cupcake recipe. Also, learn how to make cupcakes look spectacular and more appetizing.
A chocolate ganache recipe is probably one of the easiest and tastiest frostings to make for your cupcakes.
Once you learn the basics of this frosting, you can make a vegan version or even a raw version of this frosting.
Learning how to make cupcakes more attractive just takes a little know how and imagination.
A No Bake Chocolate Cupcake
I would use raw cream, raw coconut cream, or a chocolate ganache frosting over a soy based product - not a big fan of unfermented soy products.
Also, I prefer raw honey over raw agave. There are other sweeteners on the market to try these days such as yakon root syrup and lucuma powder - both are known for being lower glycemic sweeteners.
A Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcake
I don't know what you think, but this looks like one of the best tasting chocolate muffins that I've ever seen - and its gluten free as well.
I have played around with gluten free flours and it is a bit frustrating at times to get the right moisture content.
Getting a book that tells you exactly how to achieve the right moisture using various gluten flours is a must for those who absolutely need to stay on a gluten free path, but not a dessert free path.
A Simple Chocolate Ganache Recipe
You basically just keep whisking until you get a dark rich ganache. Some people like to add a little butter to the cream and chocolate to give it an even richer texture - yum!
Use organic cream or even raw cream to make your chocolate ganache, but do not use ultra pasteurized cream as this process creates MSG.
A Vegan Chocolate Ganache Recipe
How to Make Cupcakes Look Spectacular
For those who love fruit, add a piece of your favorite fruit or berry on top of the frosting to give it a dash more color.
You could even make a template of your favorite shape or letter with some paper. Then just put your template over your frosted muffin and sprinkle something edible to fill your template.
Hearts are always a nice shape, but using your imagination is how to make cupcakes look more fun as well as more tasty.
You could add raw shredded coconut or chopped nuts for a more nutritious and healthy looking muffin. That's on top of the chocolate frosting of course!
